Red Hood by Elana K. Arnold
4.0

Intriguing and engrossing, this book was an adjustment (2nd person perspective was very jarring at first), but it ended so satisfyingly. I appreciated that Arnold drew a clear line between predators and other male characters in the story, showing that men can be allies in the fight as well. Additionally, it had one of my new all time favorite quotes, the exact lines of which I can't find and I've long since lent the book to several friends, but in essence, it pondered whether, instead of being made the lesser for its division, perhaps love was like sourdough, it grows and rises to fill the space. It was much more poetic in the book, but that quote just really touched me (and not just because I love bread more than any other food group).
